I realize I'm immature but I can't help but laugh at the table heading of 'Solid D'.

Looking at the house races is kinda crazy, I didn't realize things were going to be so close there this election.

Anything reaching those kind of numbers is probably a music video or some sort of nursery rhyme set to music. Youtube is mostly a music service.

Beyond that, there's a grammarly ad that hit over 500 million views, wonder how much they spent on that and a lot of random memes. It's real difficult to find the most viewed real non-music, non-kids, non-ad video. Probably still Charlie Bit my Finger (again). Except Mr Beast, not many others regularly topping 100M.

Honestly, I use it because it does a better job than who we usually use, the items it adds to the Job descriptions usually actually exist.

You're right that is a real loss. Really, an Alexa that didn't require a personalized amazon account could still be huge if they could figure out how not to have to justify the costs of running the servers. I think that unwillingness to let Alexa be just a voice assistant is the key roadblock. In a similar vein, Alexa for business could have been a really big deal too if they could have worked it out a bit faster but now I think interest has mostly died out before it had a chance to be adopted.

I'm not a huge fan of the company and I think it's a coin flip as to whether they would just completely screw it up, but I wonder what would have happened if someone like Crestron had taken a real interest instead of just half-assing an integration.

I know I'm likely alone, but I'm actually kind of bummed on this change.

The old fluid system is janky and unpredictable and I have other complaints, but the way things flowed was sometimes part of the fun. I'll kind of miss the puzzles of 'Why are my flamethrowers not working again?'

Google has these phases for the products they develop, right now they're in the phase where they've functionally abandoned home and are giving it just enough support to try to get some other company to manage/fix it and let them profit off of it.

I'm not usually a fan of Apple, but they're probably going to be the ones defining where things go. If they want the market, it's basically up for grabs right now.

Alexa has a tendency to give you the 'featured' product no matter how precisely and specifically you ask her for something. Even if you don't have to research and know exactly what you want, it's almost always easier to just go find your phone.

The real game changer for Alexa was always having a voice assistant that you can integrate with just about whatever you want that isn't tied to someone's phone. The idea of going into someone's house and just saying 'Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights' or 'Alexa, is it cold outside?' is where the Alexa magic lies, but Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it's own, just doesn't contribute to the business case.

It's consistently pretty good for writing items with low technical importance and minimal need for accuracy.

I'll never write a job description myself again and my need for getting with communications for mass correspondence is almost gone.

It's from reuters, it was mangled in the initial report:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/biden-ban-us-sales-kaspersky-software-over-ties-russia-source-says-2024-06-20/

They've leaned pretty heavy into AI usage, who knows who wrote it.

See, you read what I actually asked for, thanks my friend.

I know it's doable in general because I've done it in an enterprise environment, just seems to be a real pain in the ass at the consumer level which is not surprising, it's a weird use case.

Where I work we have a system that kind of combines a proxy and a solution that approximates the same functionality as a VPN, and it's all in one cohesive package. I know my first stop will have to be some sort of proxy, but my ideal is basically just a friendlier UI to manage it and for whatever proxy or proxy-like solution to include tunneling options out of the box.

It's a complicated ask, but I feel like it's becoming more useful. Supposedly, Squid can do it with a few extra pieces and that might end up being the solution.

Roger Garth claims it's based on a picture of them from around '05. No original photo found and could just be trying to cash in on the trend, but they knew about where the photo was from and offered details we didn't have before (Obviously, could have been made up).

Filippa hamilton has also claimed it was her, but with no supporting details.

I think Roger is a way better match.

At an enterprise level, that's definitely not what we're seeing. Whenever we try to turn it on for any system, there's some major downside that the vendor has zero interest in fixing within the next 10 years.

Yeah, I've seen that one, but I'm looking for something at the router level or something I can run on linux and just have everything run through. I have CLI-based options that are super janky... I'm probably just being too picky.

If you get downvoted once, everyone else has to downvote you too before they read your comment, it's the rule of lemmy.

So, I have a pretty alright VPN provider, but I've been looking for a self-hosted solution to allow me to say "Hey, if you're trying to hit www.domain.com, go through this VPN tunnel instead" but still run everything else straight through. Lots of options exist, I have one that would be perfect that we utilize at my company, but I haven't found a good solution that doesn't utilize enterprise level pricing.

Anyone got any tips on that front?

I will die the way I always wanted to live.

Surrounded by an assortment of artisanal barbecue sauces and fancy hot sauce.

But yes, what kind of unit is this?

How lifelong friendships are made.

Man, that's a lot better than my plan.

My plan was just to add a lot more bbq and fried food to my diet once I get to around 60.

If all that is true, then why do I still hate ipv6 so much.
